I've been reviewing the P&L for last year. Wind down all of Mexico and Brazil and plan on closing by second quarter. Do not open an office in Belize. It would seem to be time to push the fledglings out of the nest. Announce that Central and South America are open territory for anyone who want to work it as an independent factor. First prize is a 1/10th share as a junior partner. I'll be going after the big contracts to supply the new resort construction myself. If you need the help grab one or two of the best paper shufflers when we do close our offices down to help you keep track of everything, it would be fine with me.
By the same token, tell Paloma she can have the Southeastern United States, but only if she goes out there as an independent. If she isn't confident enough in herself to do that, she isn't ready to move up in management. She's been doing well enough in what she's been doing, but I think she can do much more if she pushes herself to do it.
Your idea of catering to expats and Anglophiles may have merit, but I'm not that interested in it myself. On the other hand, catalog sales and the occasional retail store have worked well for others and would probably be worth taking a long look at. Run with it yourself if you'd like or find someone to do it. Toss a preliminary budget at me middle of next week. SWAG will do for now.
I've put you on my guest list for Crockfords. Give then place a good look over. Always nice to be able to refer to 'my club' when you invite a VIP out to lunch. A 'one of the boys' sort of things.
